Notability:being a paid employee of an elected politician does not make you notable Simonjon (talk) 22:02, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the only mentions in reliable sources are in passing, for example here where he is clearly not the subject of the article. Unsuccessful election candidate and working in an advisory role also do not meet subject specific criteria at WP:POLITICIAN. Valenciano (talk) 08:31, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep -- As an appointed official of the Mayor of London, I think he might just about get over the threshold of notability. However, this is probably breaking new ground as to who is notable. I would not vote this wayt for the officials of the elected mayors of smaller English cities. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:06, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete, subject of the AfD has received significant coverage in one non-primary reliable source. However, the other reliable sources only briefly mention the subject of this AfD, in total it is my humble opinion that the one source plus all the other mentions do not add to significant coverage from multiple non-primary reliable sources. Therefore, unless more sources arise where the subject is the primary subject of the content and is given significant coverage, I have to support deletion. Perhaps it is too soon for this individual to have a wikipedia article per notability, as the subject presently fails WP:GNG WP:POLITICIAN & WP:ANYBIO.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 16:27, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets the general notability guideline with coverage at [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] (full 417-word text available via Nexis), [6]. etc. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:57, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the AfD no longer appears on the Mayor's official appointments page [7] which was originally cited in the article to establish notability, or its subpages, so likely no longer an appointee or even an advisor to the Mayor. Agree with earlier comments that failed runs for elected office is weak grounds for notability.Simonjon (talk) 23:06, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
